, I claim:

1. A package of folded sheets made up of a series of separate sheets, each folded to produce a main portion and oppositely extending flaps overlying said main portion; the combined width of which is greater than that of the main body of the sheet, but

which flaps terminate short of the folded edges of the sheet.

2. A package of folded sheets made up of a series of separate sheets, each folded to produce a main portion and oppositely extending flaps overlying said main portion; the combined width of which is greater than that of the main body of the sheet, but which flaps terminate short of the folded edges of the sheet; said flaps being substantially equal in width.

3. A package of folded sheets made up of a series of separate sheets, each folded to produce a main portion and oppositely extending flaps overlying said main portion; the combined width of which is greater/than that of the main body of the sheet, but which fiaps terminate. short of the folded edges of the sheet; said sheet being twol ply and having one of its flaps terminating in a folded edge and its other flap terminating in two free edges.

4.
